Nizhny Novgorod city, Russia travel guide More posts.. Nizhny Novgorod history From the 9th century, Slavic colonization took place in the upper Volga River, the region inhabited by Finno-Ugric peoples. By the end of the 11th century, the entire Upper Volga region, almost to the mouth of the Oka River, belonged to the ancient Rus’ state. In 1221, Russian Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich of Vladimir, founded a wooden fort at the confluence of the Volga and the Oka rivers. The settlement was named Nizhny Novgorod (“lower newtown”). In 1350, the town became the capital of an independent Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod principality, which occupied a vast territory and competed with the Moscow principality. During this period, Nizhny Novgorod region was actively populated. In 1392 (but finally only in 1425), Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod principality was annexed to the Moscow principality. More Historical Facts… During Ivan III and Vasily III, the town played a role of an outpost.

It was a gathering place for troops during wars against the Khanate of Kazan. In 1500-1511, to replace an existing wooden fort, a stone fortress (kremlin) was built. In 1612, during the Russian “Time of Troubles”, Kuzma Minin, a local merchant, gathered troops to expel Polish forces from Moscow. The commander of the troops was Dmitry Pozharsky. The new royal dynasty, the Romanovs, became the head of the country. The square in front of the Kremlin was named after Minin and Pozharsky. The remains of Kuzma Minin are buried in the citadel. In 1817, Makarevskaya Fair moved to Nizhny Novgorod attracting millions of visitors annually. By the middle of the 19th century, the town was known as the trading capital of the Russian Empire. Sormovo Iron Works was the largest industrial enterprise of the town. In 1914, Moscow-Kazan Railway Company began construction of the first bridge over the Volga River. The bridge was finished only in the Soviet era, in 1927.

Maxim Gorky, a famous Russian writer, was born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1868. In 1932, he was invited by Joseph Stalin to return to the USSR. Gorky accepted the invitation, and, after that, the city was renamed Gorky in his honor. During the industrialization of the 1930s, several large engineering plants were built in the city, including one the largest Soviet automaker - Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ). During the Second World War, Nizhny Novgorod was the largest supplier of military equipment. Nizhny Novgorod was closed to foreigners for a long time because of numerous military facilities located in the city. Andrei Sakharov, a world famous Russian physicist and Nobel Prize winner, was exiled there to prevent any contacts with foreigners from 1980 till 1986. The “closed” status of Gorky came to an end in 1990, when the original name Nizhny Novgorod was returned to the city. Nizhny Novgorod streets Author: Sergey S.

However, there are many inclines or steps from the river banks. The bridges are not pedestrian friendly since the sidewalk is very narrow and cars drive extremely fast close to the pedestrians.

If visiting in winter take care walking around the city; people are hospitalized every year after slipping on the ice. Many pavements slope down to the roads, so when crossing take extra care not to slide into the road when cars are passing. Also be aware of snow and ice falling from the roof-tops. At the start of winter and towards the end of winter (although sometimes in the middle if temperatures rise) large chunks of ice can snap off the buildings' gutters and come crashing down into the street. Similarly avalanches of snow, built up over the winter, can come loose and entire roof loads of snow have been known to come hurtling down to the street below; this can cause serious injury.

On surface public transport (trams, trolleybuses, buses and marshrutkas) you are expected to pay within one stop after you enter, the fare is fixed for one ride. A konductor who will come to you, take money and issue a ticket; if there is no konductor, you should pay directly to the driver. Both the driver and konductor will give change if needed, although notes of RUB1,000 and larger are sometimes denied. It is best to have exact change ready. Marshrutkas do not stop at every stop. To indicate your intention to exit a marshrutka, press a button and to indicate your intention to enter a marshrutka en-route, you need to wave your hand. The metro consists of 2 lines and 14 stations, with more stations planned in the future. The system was designed during Soviet times and stops are located near factories and industrial areas. However, the demographics have shifted and as a result, the metro is not as useful as it once was and surface transport is more popular and more crowded. The metro system uses tokens that can be purchased in the stations. The 2 lines intersect at Moscovskaya Metro Station.

This is the only metro station in the ex-USSR with 4 adjacent tracks. By bicycle[ edit ] Nizhny Novgorod does not have any bicycle infrastructure such as bike lanes or parking and cycling is prohibited within the Kremlin and on part of Malaya Pokrovskaya Street.
